Creative and fun way to educate seasoned as well as new managers on the importance of leading your team to success!

Liz Fisher, Human Resources Manager, Boise Paper

I have been a leader for almost 50 years - the first 23 of which I served in the U.S. Air Force. This little "bee-book" reinforces leadership lessons I learned on the journey. The excellent discussion questions at the end of each chapter can stimulate individual and organizational growth. I think this book is a winner.

I have read hundreds of business leadership books and still found this book timely, interesting, and easily adaptable to share with teams. The chapters for each skill are short, to the point, and include a chapter ending list of questions to provoke conversation and understanding. This book is a great tool to develop leadership in teams!

In addition to being a good read, The Survival of the Hive is an effective business tool. Mackin and Harrington take the timeless concepts of strategy, vision, belief and purpose and translate them into a multi-dimensional package full of ideas to help enhance your corporate culture. The Honeycomb Model blended with the 4R Strategy, Perfect Product, CAMP, Front Porch and many other approaches provide great topics for conversation and are bound to elicit creative new ideas for managers and the teams they lead. Once again, Mackin and Harrington use their vast experience in transforming teams and corporate cultures to help leaders evolve on the path to success!

This book has some phenomenal lessons in leadership, culture, products, relationships and more. I call it the Who Moved My Cheese? of 2013 because of how the allegories in the book help explain modern principles in business.

Survival of the Hive utilizes the roles of bees in the hive to show us the value of Servant leadership in guiding an organization to meet its goals. We also realize how much the leader "communicates" without saying a word and how important it is to listen for the buzz! Kudos to Deborah and Matt for sharing the lessons of the hive!

Michele Kelly, Chief Financial Officer, Catholic Charities

Survival of the Hive’ harnesses the very essentials of the stewardship of leaders through the eyes or the world’s most industrious and successful creatures, the honey bee. It purports to identify the optimum leadership footprint that holds vision, strategy, and belief at its epicenter and creates a culture that encourages competency, autonomy, meaningfulness, and progress. A wonderfully written book that not only is easy to relate to, but one that also ingeniously simplifies the world of leadership.
